Untz Is Dead

Untz Is Dead is drummer Allen Aucoin, late of the Disco Biscuits, playing the Grateful Dead as live electronic music rather than as a rock band — the untz is the four-to-the-floor the name promises. The cast changes by city: the Denver run billed Aucoin with Dylan Teifer of Steely Dead, Elie Herzog of JELLI and Fleeb Thomas of Octopus Nebula. It tours rather than residing anywhere, and the material is the Dead's throughout.
